Story

So, i jumped out of the plane and it was amazing but my fundraising isn't over. Just like Gabe's struggles aren't over, so I'm gonna keep going to help raise funds for research into Muscular Dystrophy.  

By now you know that my little friend Gabriel or Gabe as he likes to be called, was diagnosed with a muscle wasting condition called Beckers Muscular Dystrophy. To say the struggles on is an understatement that boy is brave and determined, despite all he goes through. So I can be brave and positive too, and zipline across London!!

By fundraising for the Muscular Dystrophy charity, we are contributing in a very positive way and hopefully showing other families out there that some good can come out of bad.

Gabe faces a very uncertain future and with all the advancements in medicine that we are blessed to have available today, we need to do everything we possibly can to help in the effort to find a cure or have treatments available to slow down the progression of this awful condition. Beckers affects so many boys and their families but together we can help give these boys the best lives possible. 

Muscular Dystrophy UK is the charity for 70,000 people living with muscle-wasting conditions. They are making a difference today, providing vital information and support to help people live as independently as possible. They are making a difference for tomorrow, accelerating progress in research and driving the campaign for access to emerging treatments.

So, my part is simple, I put my fear of heights aside and zipline across London with the wind and rain lashing at me! By doing this small part I hope to raise funds for Gabe and others like him, so that a cure or treatment can be found to help make his uncertain future more certain.
